Epoxy Fillet Fundamentals on a Stitch and Glue Kayak - Petrel Play SG Build - E5

Bill and I fillet between the panels for the Petrel Play SG kayak design from a kit by Chesapeake Light Craft (CLCBoats.com) https://bit.ly/3uRnqzA. The video is a detailed description of a boat-building process, specifically focusing on filling seams with thickened epoxy to create fillets between panels. Nick explains the materials, tools, and techniques used in the process, emphasizing the importance of a smooth and strong fillet. The process involves mixing epoxy with wood flour, applying it to seams using a piping bag, and shaping the fillet with a plastic spoon. Nick demonstrates the steps, offers tips, and discusses the significance of the fillet in reinforcing the boat structure.

In this series we will take you through a step-by-step process of converting a pile of wood bits in to a beautiful, functional kayak
